Area of interest, scope of investigation

• Mineral nutrition of farm animals, including the studies on the effect of bioelements (i.a. chromium and iodine) on production results in animal management and on the quality of animal-origin products.
• The studies on contamination of feeds and animal-origin products by toxic elements (mainly mercury)

Scientific projects 2008-2010
